The time is drawing
near in which Dusk Till Dawn Poker will find out if their ambitious plans to
open one of Europe's largest casinos and the largest poker room in Europe will
be approved by the Magistrates Court. A somewhat tense situation, Dusk Till Dawn
has already secured the premises for the gaming site and has invested over 7
Million in its construction and securing a 15-year lease. Surprisingly, all this
has been done without having been formally granted a casino gambling license.
Although Dusk Till Dawn
Poker has already received permission (more like blessings) from the UK Gambling
Commission to operate the poker room and casino, approval from the Magistrate's
Court is needed before the license can be granted. And with some objections from
local Nottingham casinos being voiced to the Magistrate's, everything is not in
the clear just yet.
It is always a gamble
when applying for a UK gambling license, considering that applicants must
already secure the premises for where the casino license is to be used. Gaining
the blessings of the UK Gambling Commission, however, is a sign that the license
has very good chances of being approved. Dusk Till Dawn owner, Paul Young,
expressed these sentiments, in addition to pleading his case further by citing
the fact that the new project has already helped the Nottingham economy, and
will continue to do so over the next fifteen years.
At the moment, the club
is in the final stages of refurbishment and all backend casino gaming systems
are up and running. Even the staff have been hired and trained. The club has
also already recruited 3,600 members to partake in the fifty poker tables,
casino gaming, restaurant and bar amenities available in the 15,000 square foot
space. Opening night will depend on the actions of the Magistrate Council
hearing.
